Using Satellite Observations to Constrain Parameterizations of Gravity Wave Effects for Global Models (2006, methodology): “This is a typical temperature amplitude observed for low-frequency waves in individual tropical radiosonde profiles (Wang and Geller 2003), suggesting that such waves are nearly always present in tropical GPS profiles.”
Exploring earth's atmosphere with radio occultation: contributions to weather, climate and space weather (2011, positive): “At ﬁrst it was not clear whether this was a real feature or not, but many subsequent soundings showed similar structures that proved to be manifestations of real gravity waves of various types (Tsuda et al., 2000; Steiner and Kirchengast, 2000).”
Gravity wave dynamics and effects in the middle atmosphere (2003, background): “Limb viewing satellite measurements can also be sensitive to inertia-gravity waves [Fetzer and Gille, 1994, 1996; Eckermann and Preusse, 1999; Tsuda et al., 2000], and they are prominent signals in stratospheric radar and lidar observations [Sato, 1994; Mitchell et al.”
Gravity wave penetration into the thermosphere: sensitivity to solar cycle variations and mean winds (2008, background): “Additional evidence for convective and hurricane sources of GWs at higher altitudes was obtained with radars and GPS measurements of winds and temperatures (Bauer, 1958; R̈ ottger, 1977; Hung et al., 1978; Hung and Kuo, 1978; Hung and Smith, 1978; Tsuda et al., 2000; Hocke and Tsuda, 2001; Bishop et”

Mean and variable forcing of the middle atmosphere by gravity waves (2006, background): “Both satellite and balloon studies have revealed that GW variances are largest throughout the stratosphere at equatorial latitudes (Fetzer and Gille, 1994, 1996; Allen and Vincent, 1995; Tsuda et al., 2000; Alexander et al., 2000).”
Kelvin wave variability near the equatorial tropopause observed in GPS radio occultation measurements (2005, methodology): “Enhanced amplitudes of inertia-gravity waves in the deep tropics have been observed [Allen and Vincent, 1995; Tsuda et al., 2000 ] and have been explained by Alexander et al. [2002] as a straightforward consequence of the latitudinal variation of the Coriolis parameter.”

Thermal variability of the tropical tropopause region derived from GPS/MET observations (2003, background): “…measurements [Nishida et al., 2000], and is probably due to a wide spectrum of tropical waves, such as gravity waves [Karoly et al., 1996; Tsuda et al., 2000], Kelvin waves [e.g., Boehm and Verlinde, 2000; Fujiwara et al., 2001] or other equatorial modes [e.g., Wheeler and Kiladis, 1999].”

Variability and predictability of the space environment as related to lower atmosphere forcing (2016, background): “For global coverage of GWs, analyses of satellite observations have provided increasingly comprehensive information on the global distribution and seasonal variation of GWs, including their energy density and absolute momentum flux, from the stratosphere to the lower thermosphere [Fetzer and Gille, ”

Global Ray Tracing Simulations of the SABER Gravity Wave Climatology (2009, methodology): “In contrast to the vertical detrending approach used for radiosonde and GPS climatologies [e.g., Tsuda et al., 2000], this horizontal scale separation approach preserves the vertical spectral information on GWs in the data.”
